I have started work on a 1956 Century Resorter. She is in for a new no soak bottom as well as any required structural repairs and new paint and varnish.

The boat is in good shape topsides but the bottom is worn out and there are several cracked planks. She will receive a new bottom built with a layer of marine plywood and a second layer of new mahogany planking all bedded in 3M 5200.

After removing the old bottom, and inspecting the framework, I have replaced several bottom frames and floor timbers. All of the existing frames and floor timbers were also refastened.

A new keel and forefoot were also milled out and installed.

To date I have installed the new bottom and installed new spray rails. She will be primed and painted and rolled back over next week.

The bottom has been painted and she's been rolled over. I will be working on the topsides and deck prepping for refinishding. Then the engine and mechanicals can be reinstalled.
